Naja, also habe ich eine neue Pin- und Steckwand gebastelt und dabei fleißig Fotos für Euch gemacht... Und gerade als ich damit fertig war, habe ich im Netz ganz viele Tutrorials dafür gefunden...*hmpf* - egal, ich hab mir die Arbeit gemacht und zeige es Euch trotzdem *ätsch*Natürlich gibt es viiiiele Möglichkeiten, zum Ziel zu kommen und das Rad habe ich damit auch nicht neu erfunden, besonders kompliziert ist es auch nicht, aber vielleicht inspiriert es ja den/die Eine/n oder Andere/n ;o).O.K., I forgot that I planned to show a little tutorial 'how to make your own memoboard'...some weeks ago I had the problem to find the right birthday gift for a friend I hadn't seen a long while. I remembered making some memoboards for other friends last year (or the year before???) and that both really liked them ;o).So I made another one & I actually thought to take pictures for you...and just as I was finished with this tutorial I found many other in the wide spaces of the www....*hmpf*. I show it anyway...of course there are maaaany ways to do it, it isn't complicated and I didn't reinvent the wheel - but perhaps it inspires somebody ;o).

#2Glueing: Now we put some paper on our floor {!} and start by spraying the glue onto the MDF {NOT us - the glue is quite nasty on hairs, hands and...well, what else with 'h'?? Sorry, this is better in German, lol}, then put the rubber foam onto it. You can skip this step, but it's easier to fix the fabric if the foam doesn't shift...

#3 Fixing the fabric: Choose your desired part of the fabric design {if it's a pictural print} and cut the width & length at least 15 cm longer than the MDF {depends on thickness of rubber foam and mdf} and place the fabric on the board. Now turn it on the back and fix the fabric with the tin-plated tacks (or with the staple gun). Beside avoiding wrinkles in the fabric you shoud avoid to pack the rubber foam too tightly...unless you like the wobbly effect...{BTW, my boyfriend modeled for this pic... ;o)}

#5 Tie the bonds ;o): Now you can play with the bias tape (or whatever you chose)...because the print on my fabric was quite big I decided to take only a few bands and weaved them. On the other memoboards I shaped a diamond pattern and fixed the intersections with tin-plated tacks (upholstery nails...???)
